Storyline Suspend Data Compression

I am updating my earlier post with new findings: SCORM Suspend data is not affected by modern course player.

After working with the Articulate team, I went back to retest my Test5_ResettoInit and my findings aligned with Articulate in that the modern course player does impact the suspend data as initial tests found. It is possible that I uploaded the wrong SCORM package during this test so I stand corrected. It appears that the real solution is found in the Reset to Initialization settings and the course player does not affect the suspend data.

I hope this new information helps!

Cleo's testing update from Articulate:

I ran a test using my Storyline 360 (Build 3.47.23871.0) and created a new project file with 10 slides (no question slides. I set all slides Slide Properties: When revisiting: to "Reset to initial state" and used the Classic and Modern Player, where I turned off most of the player features except for the navigation. I published it for SCORM 1.2 and uploaded it to SCORM Cloud LMS. I tested the course using Google Chrome browser.

Based on the test results, the player (Modern or Classic) doesn't contribute to the number of suspend_data, unless you have enabled or disabled any player features in the Slide Properties.

What contributes to the suspend_data includes (but not limited to): Slide and timeline information, Object states, Question slide objects states, etc...

I hope this information helps.
